Instead Durant and Westbrook went to the podium like always. Now, THAT is something I could see leading to resentment.
I agree with that. Have to put a guy on the podium after that kind of performance.
But who determines who goes up? PR has to be to blame for that right? I see the guy on the Pistons who looks like a kid but has been with them since 2000 pulling players for postgame interviews.
